_Joel_ Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hello! Yesterday I gone Tele2 Insane at Gröna Lund's press view. The station building wasn't yet ready, but the track was installed. Unfortunately, they only drove two of four cars with passengers, because they were not "installed" yet. Because of this it took a very long time between the runs. Anyway, they told us to sit with a person who weighs about yourself and then I then I sat there. We were a bit more on our site, so we hung little in the uphill. Then you go a little until it almost stops over the water before the car falling down with some g-force. Late the car stopped and the car corrected up again before you continues. After a few curves, you make a volt and then you´re back to the station again. The ride looks cooler than what it is, but it's a different experience. But we were only upside down one time. The fun with Tele2 Insane is that each new ride is different. I went it five times, and it was something new each time. This is one of the little amusement park Gröna Lund's best rides ever! And now some photos from the day! P4210170.AVI The "upside down"-part of Tele2 Insane. The car slowing down. Tele2 Insane is a fantastic place! A funny and different rollercoaster. The highest Intamin ZacSpin-coaster in the world. Inside the station building. One of them was Aftonbladet. The man in the right seat is a known swedish singer. His name is Danny Saucedo. You can see the film here http://www.aftonbladet.se/webbtv/nyheter/article4958891.ab Some newspapers filmed the ride. People hang upside down! The end of the rails. Test dummies has been replaced by real people. Tele2 Insane. Cool! Much to do before the opening. The station building. They still testrun... Tele2 Insane, 35,5 m high (116' 6"). They were not ready with the station building. When we came to the park they testdrove the track with test dummies. From the outside. The main entrance. Tele2 Insane from the central parts of Stockholm. Yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Looks like a fun ride! Very disorienting too! Sad thing is, why must all the ZacSpins be in Europe...I hope someday a US or Canadian (unlikely) park gets one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedracer Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Looks amazing, thanks for the report and videos! Just hope the weight distribution issue is just due to breaking in and not an ongoing issue. Otherwise constantly having to match up people of similar weights could be a potential loading/capacity nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they said they will have staff in the queue which ensures that the weight distribution is at an approximate. If two people want to sit next to each other, you could find some that weigh about as much together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
